Excerpt from Carl and Jocko, or the Adventures of the Little Italian Boy and His Monkey This book contains the history of a little... Italian boy, who left Europe with his father and mother to come as emigrants to Amer ica. He met with a great many sad and sorrowful adventures on his way, and the reader of the story may learn from it the lessons of calmness and composure in danger, of patience and fortitude in suffering, and trust in God in times of dark despondency. It is, true that Carl had Jocko to help him and to amuse him, but his chief reliance, after all, was upon the overruling hand of Divine Providence, and upon his own calm consideration and forethought, and the firm and steady perseverance with which he pursued the end which he had in view. By following his example in these respects when you enter yourselves, hereafter, upon the serious struggles of life, you will almost certainly succeed in the end, and you will, at any rate, be cheered, and sustained, and comforted through all the disappoint ments, trials, and sufferings that you will encounter on the way.

At the time we speak of he had arrived to within a couple of miles of New York, which was his point of destination. He was about eighteen years of age, to judge from his appearance; a well built, hale, healthy youth, possessing much manly beauty of person, with a heart full of hope, swell ing with high resolves, and possessing great courage, he had left his home in the northern part of the State, and bidding adieu to his family who. Lived contentedly and pleasantly on a large and rich farm, he had come to New York to seek his for tune. Charles Stanley, for such was his name, had full confidence in his ability and power to win from dame fortune her smiles by his seeking, and if she frowned upn him at his first entrance into the great and busy world, he was prepared not to, be cast down or driven from his purpose. He had received an excellent education at home, for the period and part of the country where he had lived.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
